North Bay cops film skunk rescue (video)

What's the deal with skunks and cups?

Yet another brave police officer has risked a tomato-juice bath in the line of duty.

This time in North Bay.

North Bay Police tell us that at 2 a.m. on Monday, Constable Sarah Kavanagh and Constable Jennifer Dix were on patrol when they spotted a skunk with a cup on its head.

And, as in similar recent incidents in Michigan, Manitoba and Ontario, the heroic un-cupping was caught on camera. Watch in the video above as Const. Kavanagh gingerly helps a skunk out, to the amusement of Const. Dix.

If you're wondering what's the deal with skunks and cups, CBC's As It Happens recently investigated the phenomenon.
